[ hm. he takes a minute to think that through — and squash how badly he just wants to fight just about every killer. ]

Good to know I sized her up right.
Hoping it doesn't come to that just yet though.

[bloodandbrass]

just put his knife in her tech. drive her insane.

better hope she doesn't catch you because i ain't saving you from her.

[hardlydead]

Nah. That's not gonna do it.
Too late for that one anyway.

[ he doesn't comment on the second bit, he doesn't expect nor does he want a rescue from evan if somehow
this goes sideways, but that doesn't feel worth saying. ]

[bloodandbrass]

[ mostly, he's of the opinion that anyone who gets caught and slaughtered by adriana deserves it for being that pathetic. ]

just get another knife stuck in your gut and beat his skull in to keep it. can't be hard.

[hardlydead]

Call me crazy but I'm not gonna do that if I can avoid it.

[bloodandbrass]

fine. coward.

[ he doesn't mean it that harshly, actually. he wouldn't do it. ]

why's it too late?

[hardlydead]

No, I said call me crazy.

[ ha ha ha. anyway. ]

Already been here a little bit.

[bloodandbrass]

didn't think i needed to say it.

so how many of those flying things she's got have your scent?

[hardlydead]

I see two left I haven't smashed yet. Could be more but I doubt it.
Don't do shit without her here though so I'm not worried just yet.

[bloodandbrass]

won't take her long to figure out something's up once she's back. you better have a good way to try and prove it wasn't you unless you want to get punctured.

[hardlydead]

Don't intend to be here much longer for a start.
This isn't a spur of the moment thing.

[bloodandbrass]

what'd she do to get you this mad?

[hardlydead]

I'm not.
Just trying to make a fucked up situation work in my favour for once.

[bloodandbrass]

gonna get yourself killed.

[ except that probably doesn't hold any weight anymore. ]

or you're gonna have two assholes with grudges on your case. other than me.

[hardlydead]

Already got her and that spooky cunt giving me extra shit anyway.
She's mad I smashed up the place, he's mad I used his face to do it. And that I apparently lost two of his knives.

Way I see it, either I point them at eachother or they escalate now instead of later.

[bloodandbrass]

you know what this sounds like to me?

[hardlydead]

Don't start.

[bloodandbrass]

you keep forgetting escalation here doesn't stop. they kill you, you don't stay dead. it's never finished for them.

[hardlydead]

So I'd better not get caught then, eh?

[bloodandbrass]

that ain't your specialty.

[hardlydead]

Easier when nobody's home.

[bloodandbrass]

won't stay that way forever.

be impressive if you actually pull it off.

[hardlydead]

I'm almost done here.

[bloodandbrass]

don't mean it's gonna work.

[hardlydead]

Might not.
Doesn't mean she'll know it was me who tore the place up either though.
